CA 2628811

An exercising perineometer apparatus (10, 170) for home or clinical use assesses the strength of pelvic floor muscles (18, 20) and provides visual and audible biofeedback signals (186, 190) as training aids during pelvic muscle exercises. Impedance signals (Z) proportional to pelvic muscle contraction forces are developed by a transducer sleeve (70) that is mounted on a shaft portion (46) of a pelvic probe assembly (10). A battery-powered RF transmitter module (164) contained within the probe assembly (10) transmits wireless feedback signals (176) to a hand-held monitor (170) that is equipped with an RF receiver (174), a visual display unit (186) and a piezoelectric speaker (190). The probe (10) reacts the pelvic contraction forces and thus provides a direct tactile feedback signal that is used in combination with the audible and visual feedback signals for improving the endurance and strength of pelvic muscles (18, 20).

Périnéomètre d~exercice (10, 170) à usage à domicile ou en clinique pour évaluer la force des muscles du plancher pelvien (18, 20) et délivrer des signaux de biorétroaction visuels et sonores (186, 190) faisant office d~aides à l~entraînement pendant des exercices du muscle pelvien. Des signaux d~impédance (Z) proportionnels aux forces de contraction du muscle pelvien sont développés par un manchon transducteur (70) qui est monté sur une partie d~arbre (46) d~un ensemble sonde pelvienne (10). Un module émetteur HF (164) alimenté par un accu et contenu dans l~ensemble sonde (10) émet des signaux de contre-réaction sans fil (176) vers un moniteur manuel (170) équipé d~un récepteur HF (174), d~une unité d~affichage (186) et d~un haut-parleur piézoélectrique (190). La sonde (10) réagit aux forces de contraction pelviennes et délivre ainsi un signal de contre-réaction perceptible tactilement directement qui est utilisé en combinaison avec les signaux de contre-réaction sonores et visuels pour améliorer l~endurance et la force des muscles pelviens (18, 20).
